In National News –
In a CNN News report, Lawmakers in Cuba said a provision opening the door for same-sex marriage legalization would no longer be part of the draft of a new constitution for the nation.
Cuba’s National Assembly said Tuesday it decided to drop the issue after the majority of people polled in community meetings said they were against same-sex marriage.
Last summer, more than 600 legislators approved a draft of the new constitution with language that didn’t specify the gender of individuals getting married. It only described it as “a consensual union between two people.”
The final version of the proposed constitution must pass through a popular vote in 2019.
